Online Printing System is a prepress process that bridges the gap between online digital content and commercial print production. The process allows a print house, a client or a graphic designer to create, edit, and approve computer-based online templates during the prepress phase. This process increasingly calls for a Portable Document Format (PDF) workflow environment with output provided by digital printing.
This solution will make your company run more efficiently and profitably by streamlining your business processes, maximizing your resources and eliminating redundant operations.
Our system supports RGB (red, green, blue) for producing digital prints. We have accurately mapped color pallet to match RGB to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key) to ensure proper 4-color printing.
300 dpi (dots per inch) is the resolution of the output PDF file.
We use offset printing, which provides the highest quality of print material for both text and images.
The site currently supports eight major and popular print products as listed. We are shortly going to introduce more products like logos/mailing labels, vinyl stickers, catalogs, banners, calendars, door hangers and raised ink cards.
There are three options for designing and customizing a product. Click a product on the left-hand panel and choose one of the options.
1. Custom Design: lets you customize the products. Click it to open the design studio and use multiple tools to create your own design.
2. Upload Design: using this option, you can upload your own JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, EPS, AI, PDF and PSD images.
3. Browse Design: use this to select hundreds of pre-loaded templates. Work on them or customize them through our design studio.
The type of paper used for difference purposes is expressed in weight. In the countries following the European system, it is grammes per square metre (gsm or g/m2 or simply g) and in the US system it is Pound (lb).
The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and such stationery) is generally between 60 to 120 gsm (20 to 70 lb) and is called the paper or text stock. Anything heavier than this is considered the card stock, i.e. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.
Coated papers are available in two finishes – glossy (shiny and smooth) and matt (flat and lusterless). Coated glossy papers reflect the light evenly so they are suitable for almost all types of printing jobs. Glossy papers have a good ink holdout, which is important for creating sharp, bright images.
No, the price list indicates basic prices of products against the speculative quantities. The prices are calculated with regard to the most basic paper/card types, sizes and single side printing. As you know, the final printing cost depends on many parameters: paper/card weights or thickness (GSM/Pt), glossy or matt finish, 2 or 4 colors, square or rounded corners, single or double side printing, quantity, destination shipping charges and the mode of transport. Please use the indicative prices for calculating the basic cost. Once you place the order using the above parameters, we will quickly mail you the final, exact cost.
This depends on the product you are ordering. For most of our standard products (Standard Business Cards, Standard Postcards, Standard Brochures, etc.), you can order any quantity, since we produce these in-house. However, for any upgraded products (Raised Foil Business Cards, High Gloss Postcards, etc.) in which we order from our suppliers, quantities are fixed. If you are unsure which category your product falls under, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Bleed is the portion of the design that will be trimmed off when it is cut to the final size. Since we print your product on an oversized sheet that gets trimmed down, we require that the images extend beyond the trim zone/line. That extra margin is what we refer to as the bleed, and is used to guarantee that you don't have white edges on your product due to slight mechanical variation when it is trimmed to size.
Sufficient bleed is 0.125" or 37.5 pixels on each side (top, bottom, left, right).
CMYK is the industry standard color profile for print products. Screens typically used the RGB color profile, therefore any and all designs uploaded to our website must be converted to CMYK before uploading. You can do this via your graphic design software of choice. Keep in mind that PNG files do not support CMYK and are not recommended. Acceptable file formats (as long as they are converted to CMYK) are: PDF, JPEG, EPS, and TIFF files.
We do not guarantee a 100% color match in any design (even CMYK) due to printer variation; however, any designs not uploaded in CMYK will NOT match the colors you see on your screen, and your design will most likely be much duller upon printing.
"Low resolution" in terms of printing means that your design has a lower than 300dpi (dots per inch) resolution. This translates to a blurry or pixelated design upon printing. Most images downloaded from the internet or photos taken from a phone will have a resolution of 72dpi. The exception are designs from graphic design softwares such as Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator or Canva, as well as our design software here on our website.
If you are having difficulty finding a high resolution version of your logo or design, please contact us for help. There may be a small redesign or vectorizing fee.
Borders are not recommended due to cutting shifts. If your product is not trimmed exactly on the trimming line, which is next to impossible for printers, borders may appear uneven. Especially for small products such as business cards, even half of a millimeter of cutting shift can cause borders to be uneven.
We do! Although most of our clients are local to Las Vegas, we cater to clients nationwide. Please let us know if you'd like your order shipped to you for an additional cost.
Turnaround and production times vary greatly depending on the product ordered and general volume of orders. For individual production times, please see the product page for the product you are interested in.
We do offer rush turnaround on a select number of our products. However, we cannot 100% guarantee any rush production, simply due to mechanical failure or delayed proof approval. If you have paid for rush turnaround and did not receive it by your promised time, the rush fee you've paid will be refunded to you.
Following industry standard, payment is required before any products go into production. Furthermore, if design work is requested, payment will be required before any designs are created.
Any refunds will be at owner discretion. You will be eligible for a refund or reprint if your product does not meet industry standard for the specific printed product or if your product does not match the design that you provided. Any issues with your order are required to be addressed within 5 business days of delivery or pick-up.
Please keep in mind that orders placed whose designs are not provided as high resolution, CMYK files with sufficient bleed are not eligible for refund or reprint. To learn more about our design requirements, please visit oasbdnsd.
